During the Canadian Grand Prix qualifying session, Max Verstappen lost his cool and angrily accused Mercedes driver George Russell of purposefully hindering him in Montreal. Verstappen couldn’t resist launching into an expletive tirade over the Red Bull radio as tensions were high during a qualifying session at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve that will never be forgotten.
Russell will start the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday on pole position, marking his second career start in Formula One after setting the Dutchman’s pace in qualifying exactly.
However, the latter was far from happy in Q2 when he thought Russell purposely got in the way during a flying lap.
The Brit will start ahead of Verstappen on the front row because he registered his joint-quickest lap earlier, and both were all smiles after the conclusion of an incredible session.
